Small sized Heriz antique rugs are very rare and much demanded. Exponentially more so if they are of the Serapi type.
This heart throb is amazing. In so many ways.
The squarish size denotes tremendous age. The condition is perfect. The weave is very fine as you'd expect with the finest Serapi rugs. The color palette is just right, with handsome, soft tones of peachy red and that sky blue associated with the older Serapis. The ivory wool is gorgeous. Design wise, there is a diamond medallion in the middle and enlarged ivory corners that create a lovingly dramatic effect.
A catalog piece and a collection masterpiece.
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait π°πΌ

I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
